Look, i dont know what your problem is. All I wanted to know was a little info about this and you got your panties in a wad. I dont know your dad Bjames whoever he is, you must have father/son issues with him. Why dont you chill out out Mrs Miata, its not my fault you are frustrated not getting your Turbo for your birthday.

 

Hmm.. I must have missed your actual request for information on the Turbo build..

Could you repeat the actual question .. oh wait.. that's right BEGi and the reputation for blowing up motors.. that was it right? Oh..no.. it was kits.. who buys kits.. you have to install them... Did you even bother reading the original thread or just jump in here half cocked?

 

Are you serious, I was looking for info about this not, criticizing. I was trying to find out because I was curious, thats all. Then you blow your top. Go take your medication please.

 

Meds are fine.. I haven't referenced your heritage..

Maybe spend the evening educating yourself by reading the original thread.. If that is beyond your ability then it's self explainitory on your concern on a kit with instructions.

 

I still dont know why you are reponding so aggresively. Is this how you are in public? And please take your medication, it will help. If not please go to a Doctor before you have a heart attack. Have a good night, with Bjames in your bunk bed.

 

Not on meds actually..

But have have requested a wall mounted Valium dispenser for my office on several occasions to help tolerate stupidity I have to deal with on a regular basis if that makes you feel better.

 

Well I can get you some if you actually need some.

 

Kids.... get off the site and go experience real life for a while

 

You mean like a 6 hour road trip with my brothers on our bikes for lunch like we did today? Yep.. good times at Eskimo Joes!

Oh..and on topic.. nobody had a turbo charged Harley..

 

Stop it, just stop it, leave the bitching to me,I'm better at it.
You guys are going to get this thread closed.
Yes it is my time of the month and I am on meds.
The guy has a right to ask questions, it would be nice if we could talk about some of these things, preferably without you getting so defensive, mr miata great defender of corky.
To answer a question, I believe Kleemann systems has been supercharging these little engines for some time now.
bedtime kids

 

Thanks aquarilized..

See what happens when you start shaking the trees.. He falls out and has to say something!

 

You started it

 

Not sure if you went back and read or not, but installation is either done by you or a shop of your chosing.

Given BEGi's track record reliability should be great.

If it destroys something your SOL.

Yes.

Probably not.

As far as telling insurance, that is something I wouldnt know. I know I wont but I could see why some would want to.

 

Gives "rising rate regulator" a new meaning doesn't it..

 

If you don't, you run the risk of the insurance company only covering the NADA value of the car w/o enhancements. Some people have a lawyer on speed-dial and would have the desire to fight the company, but it's far easier to simply disclose additional mods on the policy. All insurance companies act differently, but with mine, I simply declare I want to insure the vehicle plus $x,xxx in mods and they factor that into the premium. You will pay more, but they will cover your mods in the unfortunate event of a collision. I would avoid specifics on the extra $4,000 coverage for a turbo, as they associate turbo with speed and speed = danger... and danger is baaaad, mmmmkay?

 

I agree with Jon's thoughts above, but make sure with your insurance company, as well as your agent, that you are covered. My agent swore to me the car was 100% covered, including my mods, and when something happened, the INS company told me my mods were not covered, and I was SOL. I ended up suing my agent, and won, but I didn't recoop everything, and it took me over 6 months to get any sort of compensation.

Make sure you document everything including parts purchasing, and have it all covered, or else they will screw you in any way they are able. Thenturn around and sell your aftermarket parts and make sure they make as much money off you as possible.

 

So you don't think "and I'd like to add 4 grand additional coverage for my modifications" is going to raise any eyebrows? Pretty much would put me insuring for one and a half of the cars value. God forbid something shorted and burned in the driveway! LOL
I'm thinking tell the roll back driver my house is a fine place to deliver it should the need arise..

 

$4K is actually quite low. I have $600 in my steering wheel alone (MSRP 1,200 Euro). Interior enhancements and other aesthetics won't affect the safety of the vehicle and that's their main concern. Receipts of purchases help your case. But if you come right out and tell them "Yes, I'm adding a $4,000 part that gives a major bump in power", that will certainly make them wonder. Your results may vary.

When in doubt, be honest. Or you can roll the dice, say nothing, and hope an SUV doesn't pull out in front of you. Your call.

 

That is why I wouldnt want to tell them. lol. If the hampster upstairs runs at all they will be asking questions, those questions will probably result in a premium I wouldnt want to pay. I will probably talk to them and see what they offer for a premium but I could see them making a big deal out of it.

When my integra was totalled (no where near as bad as your accident) they said they would cover a percentage of the mod cost and it was so low a percentage that it wasnt even worth it.

Given all you put into that thing I would have been pissed, especially going through all that trouble to collect what should have been automatic.

I completely understand on the aesthetics.

My thing is, do I want to pay a ton more a year (extra coverage + increase in power/danger) to have a percentage I paid covered? Or not pay extra and roll the dice for a couple years.... I think it would at least be worth it to kick it over with them.

 

I just stopped by shake the hornet's nest after hearing the kit wasn't completed yet. Just as a comparison, it took my friends shop (Stage 6 In Jacksonville, FL) two weeks to build his custom turbo kit. We're talking the Jeep arrived on day one, and by day 14 it was off the dyno and running down the strip (1o's on a stock engine).

Just saying.

By the way, he told me he was interested in building a kit for the Crossfire. His name is Harrison. Maybe someone should give him a call.
